Dynamic VRAM Paging
A memory management technique for video memory that draws on the virtual memory paging mechanism of operating systems. It divides video memory into fixed-size pages and maps logical addresses to physical pages through a page table, reducing memory fragmentation and supporting inference over longer contexts.
Timeline (last 90 days)
The core technologies of this optimization scheme are dynamic VRAM paging and a new generation of mixed-precision operators.
Dynamic VRAM paging borrows the virtual memory paging mechanism of operating systems, dividing VRAM into fixed-size pages and mapping logical addresses to physical pages through a page table, so that allocation does not depend on contiguous large blocks of space and can be combined with on-demand swapping in and out to host memory.
The cost of dynamic VRAM paging is the extra overhead from page table lookups and page swapping, which requires fine-grained scheduling strategies to balance.
